1. What is the primary reason Samuel Green is seeking care?
A) Headache
B) Dizziness
C) Numbness in the left arm
D) Vision changes
Correct Answer: C) Numbness in the left arm
Rationale: Samuel Green's chief complaint is left-sided numbness, which is the
primary symptom prompting him to seek care. This focal neurological
symptom is concerning for a possible cerebrovascular event and requires
immediate evaluation.
2. How long has Samuel Green experienced his current symptoms?
A) 1 hour
B) 6 hours
C) 24 hours
D) 3 days
,Correct Answer: B) 6 hours
Rationale: The onset of Samuel's symptoms occurred approximately 6 hours
prior to presentation. The timing of symptom onset is critical in determining
the window for acute interventions such as thrombolytic therapy in suspected
stroke.
3. What is Samuel's chief complaint in his own words?
A) "My arm feels weak"
B) "I can't see well"
C) "My left side is numb"
D) "I have a bad headache"
Correct Answer: C) "My left side is numb"
Rationale: Documenting the patient's own words is essential for accurate
subjective data collection. Samuel describes his primary concern as numbness
on his left side, which is consistent with a unilateral neurological deficit.
4. What associated symptom does Samuel report along with left arm
numbness?
A) Chest pain
B) Shortness of breath
C) Facial drooping
D) Slurred speech
,Correct Answer: C) Facial drooping
Rationale: Samuel reports facial drooping occurring at the same time as his left
arm numbness. This combination of symptoms—unilateral arm numbness and
facial drooping—is highly suspicious for an acute cerebrovascular accident
(stroke).
5. When did the facial drooping begin?
A) At the same time as arm numbness
B) 2 hours after arm numbness
C) 30 minutes before arm numbness
D) Intermittently over the past week
Correct Answer: A) At the same time as arm numbness
Rationale: The facial drooping began simultaneously with the left arm
numbness, which is consistent with an acute neurological event affecting the
contralateral motor cortex or corticobulbar tracts.
6. Does Samuel report any headache?
A) Yes, severe
B) Yes, mild
C) No
D) Yes, throbbing
Correct Answer: C) No
, Rationale: Samuel denies having a headache. While headaches can
accompany stroke, their absence does not rule out a cerebrovascular event. The
focal neurological deficits are the primary concerns.
7. What is Samuel Green's age?
A) 52
B) 62
C) 72
D) 82
Correct Answer: B) 62
Rationale: Samuel Green is 62 years old. Age is a significant non-modifiable
risk factor for stroke, with risk increasing substantially after age 55.
8. What is Samuel's gender?
A) Male
B) Female
C) Non-binary
D) Prefer not to say
Correct Answer: A) Male
Rationale: Samuel Green is male. Males have a higher incidence of stroke
compared to females, though females have higher lifetime risk.
9. What is Samuel's blood pressure on admission?
